Serves 4
Takes 30 minutes
Ingredients:
200g pasta
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
400g mixed mushrooms, roughly chopped
300g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2cm lengths

1 cup low-fat ricotta
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp smoked paprika

- Add the olive oil to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, a little pepper to taste, and sauté until they’re tender and lightly browned.
- Add the asparagus, garlic, paprika and chilli, and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the wine and cook for a further 2 minutes until absorbed.
- Add the drained pasta and ½ cup cooking water, ricotta and lemon juice, reduce heat to medium and toss to combine everything for 2 minutes. Season with pepper. Serve with parmesan.
